Jerry Jones makes Shorthorn basses like these in his shop in Nashville. His web site lists the string gauges. http://www.jerryjonesguitars.com/NSHbass4.htm Besides JustStrings, I think Musicians Friend carries a couple sets. Easiest to get the brand and stock number from JustStrings first. Hal

Ben, Here are a few thoughts that you can take or throw away. It might get a little long. Let me apologize in advance. But your questions trigger quite a few thoughts in me. Maybe you will find something useful here. When writing, I usually find a chord progression and some rhythmic strum that is ju...

I recently ordered a pair of AKG 240S studio phones from Boynton Pro Audio and got a very good deal. But you'd best call and talk with a salesperson.

I just got Cindy Cashdollar's Slide Show CD. I'm really enjoying it. HS

There's a link on that page to a table comparing other similar recorders.

Steve,
I found an interesting thread this week. Will just drop it in here. Seems applicable to your topic-dilemma regarding AD/DA conversion. The Ensemble looks nice, by the way. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/showthread.php?s=e8e1b57e3f19b219ac354282c7bb7505&t=89615

Matt, Thanks for the info and link about the immersion Hawaiian language lessons on DVD. I will check it out next time I'm in Barnes & Noble. I would love to learn more about Hawaiian language. Seems like Hawaiian music helps generate a lot of interest in the language. When I first lived in Hawa...

Matt, A little history regarding the use of Hawaiian language, although this is surely a bit vague and inaccurate as I am certainly no scholar of Hawaiian history or language.... The early missionaries translated the Bible and hymns into Hawaiian and learned the language. But the planters who overth...

I still have a big pair of passive JBL 4312 speakers in a small home studio. They run through a Mackie board and an old Marantz hi-fi amp. Too big for the space but great speakers in their day. I eventually got a pair of Alesis Monitor One speakers, and I always planned to get a good studio amp some...

I record at 24/44.1 as well.

Henry, here are some links to web pages with pertinent reading. I spent some time in August reading up on room acoustics modifications. Then I started looking around and I found a local wholesale contractors' supply outfit that was stuck with loads of 2"-thick Owens 703 rigid fiberglass, and I ...

The Taylor 12-string is still available. I would be interested in trading for an S12 or SD12 extended E9 . . . or possibly an SD10. Other trades or offers will be considered as well. Thanks.

Pictures of the Taylor 855 are available at: http://www.crossingthegreatdivide.org/Taylor_855.pdf

Well, I haven't had the chance to listen to AJ's new album yet either. But I love Paul's work on the Billy Currington album. Wondering if it helps that Carson Chamberlain was producing? He plays pedal steel as I recall. Paul? As for AJ, he has truly developed his songwriting talent. Yet he always in...
